AI caption · Photo 3151 of 5000

This is a photograph of a factory Motorcraft/Ford under-hood decal showing the serpentine drive belt installation (routing) diagram for the 5.0L engine, printed in both English and French. The schematic shows the belt path around seven pulleys: alternator (ALT.), an upper idler (POULIE FOLLE), power steering (P/S / DIR.), air conditioning compressor (A/C / CLIM.), water pump (POMPE À EAU), crankshaft (VILE-BREQUIN), a lower idler, and the belt tensioner. A callout instructs that the tensioner is rotated clockwise to relieve tension (TENSIONER — ROTATE CLOCKWISE / TENDEUR — TOURNER DANS LE SENS D'HORLOGE). The bottom of the label carries the Motorcraft and Ford logos with the note to use Motorcraft spark plugs, filters and tune-up parts for original equipment performance, repeated in French. A second adjacent label, partially cut off at the right edge of the photo, contains bilingual 'Attention' text about changing engine oil and the oil dipstick, referring the reader to the Owner's Guide, but most of it is out of frame. The decal gives no year, model, or part numbers — only the 5.0L engine designation.
